And good chance it never will (thanks to Billy himself who is not a big fan of any of his 45 edits and/or versions).]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2019 09:09:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1369&PID=51251&title=movin-out-billy-joel#51251 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1369&PID=51250&title=movin-out-billy-joel#51250 Author: Ron S

So to this day the 45 version has not appeared on any CD?

Does the first one lack the car engine sound and the second one have it? I had no idea "Movin' Out" was the first single. One of the biggest albums of the '70s and the first single first bombed! How many months before "Just the Way You Are" was "Movin' Out" released, and was it before the LP was even released?

(some snippage) From the first time my local station played it, I heard them play the LP version, with the car engine sound. Personally, I always thought it was one of the best parts of the song. To this day, I have NEVER heard "Movin' Out" on the radio WITHOUT hearing the car engine SFX - in other words, the 45 version.

I have a promo copy of the 10624 release, and it does not have the car sfx at the end.

I personally prefer the 45 version without the "peel out" at the end...to me it always sounded tacked on & superfluous. I don't recall hearing the album version on the radio very much back when it was current, though that's all you hear now.

The printed time for "Movin' Out" is (3:30), but the actual time is (3:38). Just a tad bit more info for the database. The extra 10 seconds when compared with the LP version is a slightly longer fade.]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 13:14:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1369&PID=16375&title=movin-out-billy-joel#16375 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1369&PID=7225&title=movin-out-billy-joel#7225 Author: TomDiehl1

I know what you mean about Columbia - I have many 45s (both promo and commercial) which look like they're on styrene. Luckily they all still play OK - but if there's just a pop or two here and there it usually doesn't bother me. Columbia is the label that had the most chart hits on Billboard - you'd figure they'd want their pressings to be of better quality - especially the ones played on radio. Oh well.

My simple thought as to why radio played the car version is because radio already had the LP on hand. They put the LP version on the cart, or cued up the lead-off track, and went.]]> Sat, 09 Sep 2006 20:38:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1369&PID=7206&title=movin-out-billy-joel#7206 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1369&PID=7201&title=movin-out-billy-joel#7201 Author: jimct

Excellent question, Todd. I have 2 copies of the Columbia 10708 promo 45. I have just checked both the mono/stereo sides of both copies, just to be sure - no car engine sfx is found on EITHER side of either 10708 promo copy. To speculate on Chendagam's question, he is correct that the 45 version has the early, inside track on getting radio airplay. I just believe this was one of those rare times where Columbia just made an obviously poor edit choice. They removed what many radio folks perceived to be the KEY element of the song. But, having been sent the LP as well, radio could easily "right the wrong", by just dubbing/playing it off the LP. Also, that Columbia/styrene thing was ALWAYS in play at our radio station. I remember 2 years later, in 1979, Columbia sent us approx. 6 styrene promo 45s for Rex Smith's "You Take My Breath Away", and an LP as well. We didn't like the way the soft piano intro popped and crackled on ALL of the 45 copies, so we just dubbed it off of the LP. With Columbia, this was a COMMON issue for us. We'd have a "standard, knee-jerk" reaction - we even played the longer, cold-ending LP version of "Lovin, Touchin', Sueezin'" for this reason - generally, we'd try to avoid dubbing/playing a song off a Columbia styrene 45, even it if meant playing a SLIGHTLY different or longer mix. We did the same for Neil Diamond's "September Morn" - we played the LP version, with the piano intro, for this reason alone. We didn't always do it, though. For the Manhattans' "Shining Star", we decided to play copy after copy of the 45, since the LP version's ending ran about a FULL minute longer, while just going on and on.]]> Sat, 09 Sep 2006 10:43:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1369&PID=7201&title=movin-out-billy-joel#7201
